Russell Smith Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The film does boast plenty of shots of Russell in various stages of undress, which might be the most significant aspect of this minor picture. Rated: 5/10 Sep 11, 2020 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com A highlight of 1997 Slamdance Film Fest, this raunchy romantic comedy has a nice premise--a Romeo who won't take no as an answer--but no narrative or plot to speak of, though two leads are charming and Keri Russell shows potential to become a star. Rated: C Aug 20, 2007 Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis Peter watches the neighborhood for entertainment, and, frankly, watching the grass grow would have been more entertaining for me than watching this movie. Rated: 4/10 May 24, 2006 Full Review David Cornelius DVDTalk.com Clumsy but delightful. Rated: 3/5 May 20, 2006 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com shallow and uninteresting Rated: 2/5 May 20, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This seems like almost the original of crude humor movies/romance. It was funny and enjoyable. I would watch it again. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A coming-of-age film with a bizarre premise, but humorously narrated. Keri Russell is shows promise as an actress in this pre-Felicity role. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member It may be strange that enjoy this bizarre offbeat attempt at romantic comedy. But the concept of a quirky small town and a guy who is willing to camp for the entire summer for a woman he is obsessive about is original. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie is one of my favourites with Keri Russell!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member what you see is what you get, and more. Great film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Sweet romantic comedy directed by Michael Davis (who went on to direct my favorite movie of the year Shoot Em Up) is a simple story with a lot of fun segment. A recent high schol graduate is spending his last summer at home trying to get his lifelong crush to fall in love with him by standing underneath her balcony window every day until she falls in love with him. Also throw in some elements from Rear Window and you've got a pretty entertaining film. Sure, there are some storylines that aren't so great (the horny best friend is overdone) but it's a nice unseen film. Joshua Schaefer was a good lead and Keri Russell was hot and great as the love interest. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
